I woke up this morning in need of some serious self empowerment. And the first song that popped into my head was the Erykah Badu track, Apple Tree. A little strange, because I haven’t heard this song in years. It wasn’t even on my iPod – I had to go find the CD and upload [...]

This picture just made me happy today, so I thought I’d share.
All the kick-ass ladies, now put your hands up!

I realized this week that my “Kick-Ass Chick” list was in dire need of an update. I mean, my favorite woman ON THE PLANET wasn’t on there! Sheesh! So I have added four names to the list. (Sorry, none if them is Beyoncé. Nope.)
Michelle Obama. HOW could she have spent a second NOT on this [...]

OMG, I meant to post this WEEKS ago. And for some reason I’m unusually weepy today (and I’m not a crier!) so I need to cheer myself up. And this is just the thing to do it!
So I talked about my ‘list’ already. You can read about it here.
Anyway, I have made a trade. Sting, who [...]

Dang, Cate! No sooner did I gush and brag all over you did you go and do something like this:
Sweetheart, I still luuuuuvs me some you, but not even you could pull this look off (which just means that this dress should just cease from being manufactured – NO ONE can wear it. If it [...]
Kick-Ass Chick: Cate Blanchett

Ok, one last post before I turn off my laptop for a much-needed long weekend off from work (and alas, from blogging too).
I have added yet another woman to my “Kick-Ass Chick” list: Cate Blanchett.
As far as her acting, I love her. Love, love, love, luuuuuuuuv her. When I saw her in the first “Elizabeth” [...]

Ok, I know I have been MIA for a long time now, but I had a weeklong parasitic stomach ailment (!) to contend with, then a visit from my parents (much more on that later) and a crapload of work to catch up on. But my head has reemerged from underwater somewhat, so I’ll be [...]

So it’s been more than a week since my birthday, and I’m still doing a decent job fighting off the blues I felt about turning (*gulp*) 35. I know when I’m 48 I’ll look back at 35 and say “I wish I was back there again!” But for now, it just sucks. So this week [...]
Red dress dilemma update
Posted in Fashion, Kick-Ass Chicks, Movies, tagged Bette Davis, fasion, Movies, shopping on April 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m watching the film “Jezebel,” starring Bette Davis (an original Kick-Ass Chick) as the southern belle Julie, and one scene reminded me of my red dress dilemma. In the scene, Julie is at a clothier with her aunt picking a dress for a society ball.
Eschewing all the white dresses that young unmarried girls are supposed to [...]
